The Green Hairy Crab Spider (Heriaeus hirtus) is a highly specialized species of crab spider belonging to the family Thomisidae. It is best known for its striking pale green body entirely covered in long white spines and bristles, which provides near-perfect camouflage on hairy or thorny vegetation.
